“Worship” should, imo, be reserved for your spouse… and that only occasionally. If you wanna worship the imaginary guy in the sky, go for it, but don’t wave it in my face, eh? And worshiping things, social standing or money: Bad for you in every measurable way.
24 Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. 25 They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen.
It is true today, IA, creation rather than the creator, we worship the Kardashians, music, TV shows, even if you don’t believe in God, the Bible can give you a good life. None of the other things can.
When virtual reality gets really good, like StarTrek Holodeck or Ready Player One real, we will lose entire segments of the population to addiction to those simulated worlds. Technology always leaps ahead and gives power to humans that we are not ready for. The internet is a current case in point. Far too many people don’t know how to employ critical thinking as a defense against being taken in.
It looks to me like a wonderful way to really screw up your nervous system. Minor point, studies have shown that exposure to screens (TV etc.) in infants and toddlers messes up their sensory perception development in a big way. Remember, folks, your direct connection to the real world is through your senses.
Here’s a few bible verses Trump worshipping republicans ignore…
Matthew 25:35 ESV /
For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me,

Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.

“When a stranger sojourns with you in your land, you shall not do him wrong. You shall treat the stranger who sojourns with you as the native among you, and you shall love him as yourself, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.

The Federal Appeals Court just unanimously rejected Trump’s claim of absolute immunity. The court, with its conservative members, ruled that Trump was subject to Federal law like everyone else.
Didn’t God create the creator of this invention? (Just like he did with every other “new” thing the oldsters throughout history have kvetched about re. the youth.) Use it or don’t; I doubt if God cares. After all he’s got prayers about the Super Bowl to count & consider…
Usually Varvel seems to hold a theological view (God and guns etc, God and USA etc) completely different from anything I could agree with . However, this one is not without merit. And it’s even funny too.

Varvel is going to quote the Bible now?
The book that His Messiah claims is his ‘favorite’ even though he’s NEVER read, even a tiny bit of it.

Created things? Paul was referring to PEOPLE.

Cool sun glasses to wear on the nude beach. Guess the dude is a little insecure about sharing his space with someone with a beach blanket/s.
